Wine personality of the day

Greg Sherwood MW was born in Pretoria, South Africa, and as the son of a career diplomat, spent his first 21 years travelling the globe with his parents. All the related wining and dining, in the line of duty, is where he first realised his passion for fine wine. Greg is now a London based South African Master of Wine and Fine Wine Buyer at Handford Wines in South Kensington. He is a regular judge at the Decanter World Wine Awards, SA Top 100, Nederburg Wine Auction and WOSA World Sommelier Awards, and tastes many of the world’s finest wines every week. While Greg personally expresses no firm wine drinking preferences other than for “well-made wines”, his knowledge and expertise in the field of South African wines, in particular, is considerable.
